wire heating to eliminate insulation voids
in primary cables; AccuScan system for
precise on-line measurement of cable
diameter and ovality; CapScan system
for accurate on-line measurement of
cable capacitance; CenterScan system
for accurate, reliable monitoring of
insulated cable diameter and eccentricity
of conductors; lump and neckdown
detector system, including the new LN3015
3-axis gauge; and high-frequency spark
tester for on-line detection of faults in cable
insulation, such as voids and pin holes.
Also included is the LaserSpeed system
for non-contact length and speed
measurement of moving product with
±0.05% accuracy and ±0.02% repeatability;
BenchMike bench-top system for fast,
accurate dimensional measurement of
cut product samples; DataPro process
controller and data management system;
LayScan system for accurate, consistent
cable lay length measurement of twisted
pairs; and SRL Pro on-line structural return
loss (SRL) prediction and analysis system.
Beta LaserMike will also be displaying its
line of bench-top DCM testing systems for
LAN/data cable, such as the DCM Model
ES-2G for quality testing 4-pair category
cables up to 2 GHz, and DCM Model
SCS-350B for quality testing 4-pair category
cables up to 600 MHz. The DCM line of cable
testing systems includes bench-top and fully
integrated turnkey solutions for accurately
and reliably testing LAN/data, telecom,
coaxial, and aerospace/defence cables.

Blachford Corp
Booth 506
In 2008, a Georgia, USA, sugar mill suffered a
devastating explosion due to the presence
and subsequent ignition of a combustible
dust cloud. The accident resulted in the
deaths of 13 people and changed the
way industrial manufacturers manage and
mitigate dust-related risk.
This accident illustrated the risk associated
with combustible dusts and soon thereafter
OSHA began an intensive review of
workplace safety in dust producing
processes. At the same time, wire
manufacturers intensified their search
for ways to reduce both the creation and
accumulation of dust in their facilities.
As part of their search, a number of wire
drawers asked Blachford Corporation for
technological developments that would
reduce dust creation during steel wire
drawing.
For over 50 years Blachford has been
active as an innovator and a technical
solutions provider for the global wire
drawing industry. The company tailors
lubricant programs to the technical
specifications of customers’ processes.
Blachford provides new technology
products to wire producers in support of
their ever-changing needs.
